All nominees will automatically be considered for the ACT Woman of the Year category.

“These awards will provide an opportunity for the whole community to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women in Canberra.

“Nominees will have made a significant contribution to the lives of women and girls in the ACT.”

Nominations for next year’s awards will be open for four months from 1 August until 2 December 2013. In January 2014, an assessment panel will be convened and will provide recommendations to the Minister for Women for consideration.
